The fact that many people are clueless when it comes to technical aspects, either by choice or because companies prefer to keep them that way, doesn't invalidate a discussion about the pros and cons of a new tablet.

I learn a lot from forum discussions and gain new insights, and that may be true for others, too (case in point, I didn't know that the Nexus 7 can be connected to a TV via the SlimPort, with an adapter). The Fire HDX costs as much as the Nexus 7 (2103), but lacks some aspects of the latter and the re-branded and modified Android OS of the Fire limits what you can do with it. On the upside, it features better integration with Amazon's services. What's wrong with discussing this?

Persons that want pure Android have no business complaining about Fires - there are so many other options.
People here aren't really complaining about the Fire not having some of the Nexus' features, and vice versa. The complaints are about previous Fire devices not receiving the new version of the Amazon OS (which is an older Android version).
